**Drill Overview:**
1️⃣ Set Up Your Path
- Put sticks, bats or markers way inside to create a visual path for your swing.
- This setup helps you focus on creating space and maintaining a consistent hand and barrel path through the sticks.
2️⃣ Focus on the Inside
- The drill emphasizes an exaggerated feel of getting to the inside of the ball and driving through it.
- Avoid opening up your shoulders prematurely, which can cause you to swing around the ball.
3️⃣ Maintain Spacing and Direction
- Keep good spacing with your body and ensure your hand path is directed correctly.
- This helps the barrel follow through naturally, promoting true ball flight back to the middle of the field.
❌ Avoid Common Mistakes
- Steer clear of side-to-side movements that lead to hooks, topspin, or flares.
- Focus on hitting the ball with a clean, direct path to maintain control and power.
✔️ Variations to Try
- Bottom Hand, Top Hand, and Two-Hand Swings
- Practice with each hand separately and then together to build strength and coordination.
- Incorporate Different Tosses
- Use off-angle tosses, overhand throws, and machine work to challenge your consistency and adaptability.
By incorporating these elements into your practice routine, you'll develop a more consistent and adjustable swing. Remember, consistency, so keep working on your spacing and direction to master your bat path!
